Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut each avocado in half lengthwise, remove pits, and gently score the flesh in a crosshatch pattern with a knife.
- Step 2: Wrap each avocado half tightly with 3 bacon slices, securing with toothpicks if needed. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with 1 tbsp olive oil.
- Step 3: Bake for 20-22 minutes until bacon is crisp and golden, checking once halfway to ensure even browning.
- Step 4: While bacon cooks, heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and simmer gently for 2 minutes until fragrant, then stir in chives, dill, salt, and pepper.
- Step 5: Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
